    Where are the dog days of summer? I am not complaining, I am actually enjoying these cool mornings and perfect digging temps. 

    We revisited a lot that we had previously dug. There were a couple spots that were passed up on earlier. For some reason, they felt a little more promising this morning when probed.

    One of the first bottles out was a Saratoga Congress Water in emerald. Exactly like last weeks dig!

    The layer was loaded with glass and pottery. When Steve was up, his first bottle was an amber blob. Of course it was void of any embossing. Minutes later, he had a Gray & Co hutch on the run.

    We got into two pits by afternoon. Both were full and contained lots of stuff including: a bell, toy gun, bait caster style reel, super heavy decanter, table sauce bottle, and shilo's cure sample size.
